About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At midnight, when the lot was empty and only stars watched over it, a regular would pull up in an old pickup truck. He’d walk into Roadshow BMW Mini, grab a random key from the display, and drive off into the night—only to return an hour later with a smile and the same truck he came in. Finally, one morning the owner found himself behind the wheel of his own showroom, parked next to the old pickup truck. With a laugh, he waved goodbye to the regular, who had left without saying anything—and then drove off for his daily coffee run.
2. At closing time, when the last customer left, a little girl approached the showroom window. She pointed excitedly and whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, look! The cars are winking at us!’ The mother smiled and replied, ‘Honey, those aren’t winkers—those are just headlights reflecting off the glass.’ They both laughed, and as they walked away, one of the Mini Coopers gently honked its horn in what seemed like a friendly wave.
3. At dawn, when the streets were quiet and fog clung to the ground, a faint humming sound emerged from inside the showroom. A passing delivery driver noticed it first, glancing curiously at the closed doors of Roadshow BMW Mini. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only dimly lit cars and empty stands. Suddenly, an old man in a tweed jacket appeared, dusting off a vintage Mini Cooper with a smile on his face. ‘Just warming up,’ he said softly. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and drove away—never realizing that every morning since then, the cars at Roadshow BMW Mini greeted each other with a friendly honk before opening for business.
4. At sunset, when the parking lot was almost deserted, a faint humming started coming from inside the showroom. A curious delivery driver peered through the window and saw a tiny blue light dancing around one of the cars. Curious, he opened the door slightly, and the soft glow followed him out into the night. Suddenly, the entire showroom lit up with thousands of tiny stars, each one a miniature headlight. The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was just the cars’ LEDs reflecting off his glasses. As he left, he waved goodbye to the now-sleeping cars, promising himself never again to wear those reflective sunglasses while working late.
